Silly little boy.

You know that someone clearly is set on a path to true idiocy, when they appear to hero worship someone like Loughton.

Lancing's very own political Justin Beiber (yes I know I stuck up for him earlier, but I like Canadians and hate tabloids, so I had to), an irritating 12 year old playing big boy's games is Cllr James Butcher. He seems to think that Timmy is worth worshipping like some kind of guru figure, and displays at a very young age, the same bigoted, self absorbed, ultra right-wing views as his Sith master.

How do you think he views last year's traveller evictions in his Lancing ward? This might give you some idea:
 
Now obviously he is attempting to link the Occupation of buildings within Sussex University with the traveller encampment in Lancing last summer when him and his Tory pals, ran around using mummy's car to block entrances to public spaces around Adur to prevent access to homeless travellers. By rights the police should have nicked them for obstructing a public right of way, but that would just be far too amusing, and they would probably get them a stern telling off in parliament for upholding the law.
 
Now, I used to work in Sussex Uni, and during my time there, occupation was accepted and to some degrees encouraged, as it has been a tradition and political right of Sussex students since the 1960s. It is also a good advertising tool to encourage students to apply to Sussex in order to experience the political freedoms afforded at a "new" university rather than be stuck with the stuffy and outdated Oxbridge version of higher education. To demonstrate this, when I was there, I was instructed to secure all sensitive and personal documents in a locked separate area the day before as we knew full well when occupation was about to occur and which buildings were to be affected. The Tories may hold quite a few "seats" in Sussex, but the "seat" of education is luckily not one of them.
